00:003 but that's racing that's things change in the in the blink of an eye and now
00:04it's up to burdon to avoid any sort of catastrophe the way clout couldn't and
00:09race 2 and Steve Mathis Starbucks Steve how many of you had today by the way
00:15just two only two yeah they were before nine o'clock this morning no no no one
00:20pre pre-night show one this morning okay thanks guys where have you been
00:23watching the races today up in the media up in the press box yep absolutely and
00:28yeah absolutely shambles for Luke cloud on that one and now of course he doesn't
00:32have a very good gate pick right coming into this one either so it's gonna be
00:36his worst cut out for him but I mean look he's been the best guy he's won most of
00:41the main events until that first turn crash so I guess maybe you can take that
00:43over to Australia and just know that you know racing the fit the racing fates
00:48that dictated that you didn't take home the Prince of Paris in this one yeah
00:52right and obviously he will now get out of this weekend to go to Melbourne for the
00:57Australian supercross there back home but overall though what have you made of
01:02the racing today compared to yesterday yeah it's been great I mean busting out
01:05that quad again like I told you guys yesterday Mookie was saying no one was
01:09gonna do it and then if but if someone did do it it was jet and then he does it so
01:13that was really cool to see that Mookie I mean that's putting some serious heat on
01:16jets been great racing today absolutely well look the final 15 second board is up
01:21that's gonna turn to five pretty quickly and this nine minute plus one lap race sx2 the
01:25final race of the weekend here the 42nd edition of Supercross to Perry about to
01:30get underway gate struck now and they charge down into that first turn and
01:33it's Calvin from VA holding a nice tight line there Julian LeBeau running too
01:37wide on the exit he's got cloud there between him as the number four on that
01:41green Karasaki emerges in third and he comes up short headbutts the handlebar
01:46nice cut back through there though to get back into that third place a frantic first
01:50couple of corners there for Luke clap that was a great I mean a great move but
01:54that was also super risky cutting down that aggressively on the first lap but
01:58he pulled it off I just don't know how he didn't he could anticipate there was no
02:01one there and Julian LeBeau does hang on it looked like he drifted too wide and
02:05Fonvier was gonna get up the inside of him but it's Julian LeBeau who leads away
02:08from Calvin Fonvier, Luke Clout, Saad Soleimani where is Bourdon well he's in ninth
02:12place at the moment we've seen from his consistency in his good rides through the
02:16field that it doesn't take him long to pick himself up towards the front end and
02:22obviously he's got a race that's almost twice as long as it has been going from
02:26five minutes to eight minutes and nine minutes sorry and from that side he knows he's got
02:32time in his pocket doesn't need to risk anything too hard whilst he chases down
02:36that first Paris Prince of Paris title yeah I was thinking Bourdon's weakness is outside
02:41of the first two of it starts he hasn't been able to get the starts even that first one
02:44wasn't great and then he doesn't get a start again but luckily he's got it safe
02:48he's got more time like you said so he's really good in the whoops so I look for
02:51Bourdain to move up into it probably second yeah and Calvin Fonvier probably looking
02:55at the overall best Frenchman riding the SX2 tour tonight as well as trying to
03:00maintain his lead in that French Supercross Championship of course we
03:02won't get those standings and their final round is a week from now but Clout up to
03:06second as Fonvier messes up the rhythm down the back straight just in front of
03:11where we were so Clout now up in the second position probably being the fastest rider
03:15all day and all of yesterday as well but just unfortunate with that first turn hiccup
03:20really haven't really haven't seen Lobo up front near the front all weekend uh kind of I mean
03:27better weight than never I guess on performance but see how he can handle the pressure from
03:31Cloud and I would say not very well he's already passed him yeah good for triumph though to have a
03:35bike run lead a lap or so in Paris yeah and also like uh a rider you don't normally see at the
03:40front but certainly in this event so just to get that lap or so just leading the way
03:44trying to rough up a couple of riders behind him but uh making Calvin Fonvier go the long way around
03:49looking making sure that he's not going to try and find a way through as well but
03:53I'm sure he's enjoying that moment being up front but you see now he's already starting to flag a
03:57little bit just the technique and maybe uh the overall riding really helping out Clout right
04:03here as well and Bordon yeah yeah well Bordon is there in what sixth position just uh finding his
04:10way past Pietra Pietra making his elbows out oh it's uh Saad Soleimani in fact on the 744
04:16so he's found his way by so where did Pietra go oh Bordon sorry uh Lebo has an issue coming out of
04:27that turn wasn't able to get over the uh the triple is he still in the race yes he is so it must have
04:34been uh oh look at that Bordon into the side of Soleimani Soleimani hanging on though coming out of the
04:40turn after the whoops Bordon doesn't need to get him kind of uh too much close contact with these
04:47guys here around him because he could risk everything a little bit nervous right if you
04:50if you're uh Bordon right now but you don't quite know what these guys are going to do he's a better
04:54rider than them if they case something or come up squirrely there goes his Prince title but yeah he's
04:58making short work of that and uh right into third place where um yeah he's you know first or second
05:05most of the time so clout leads away from the a second and as we look at the overall classification
05:12on our screen now is he going to be fifth overall he can't be quite sure no he was one back right of
05:20yeah so yeah um he'll be second overall so I think they've just recorrected that there so uh clout
05:26leading the way from the second Bordon Soleimani Manzato Pietro has dropped to six Cannon is seventh
05:31Michael the mark eight Julien Lebeau now down in ninth Andrea Bonifacio is in tenth place but uh number
05:37four Newton Clout first visitor to Paris obviously was in Germany a week ago in Stuttgart over jumps
05:44there again just as he did on the first lap this time wasn't as costly but he's got a nice comfortable
05:51advantage almost three seconds over number 11 Calvin Pompier who's under attack here from the 945
05:55Anthony Bordon it's been a solid performance from Pompier hasn't it this weekend
06:00yeah I think so you know he's a veteran of these tours right he's getting he's always here he's
06:04always a solid rider like I mentioned yesterday we're getting some turnover in this SX2 tour and
06:09I can see Pompier you know six seven place guy a couple years ago is starting to be now a factor
06:14in this so I'm not sure exactly how old he is but he's definitely riding better than he has been
06:17they were saying 25-ish something like that mid-20s probably yeah I would imagine because uh yeah
06:222015 or 16 when we had the you know that race in in the in the stadium at Belton's arena a few
06:27years ago when we first used the mesh and the team race kind of thing the SMX cup uh he was on a 125
06:33Yamaha there as uh you know part of the blue crew master class thing and and all the rest of it but
06:40uh and he would have been sort of dean 16 17 latest there so you know he's uh he's getting on a bit
06:47blessed him also never let it be known that the riders aren't listening uh I was I had some words
06:52about Luke Cloud's gear yesterday and I ran into him today and uh yeah made a couple of comments about
06:59me talking about his gear so as Gordon goes by uh Calvin from VA so what did he say exactly he said
07:05how you like my gear and I said uh no I didn't actually I said uh you know what was up with that and
07:11he said she picked it pointed to his girlfriend I assume and now she was giving me evil eyes and
07:16I'm like oh boy I said well you rode great man he said thank you thank you and he goes I'm not in
07:21it today and I'm like okay so we're settled and that was it so you say if you didn't need to dig
07:25yourself a hole you didn't know groundwork didn't know which way it was going to go for a minute
07:29there but uh we're all good you know he took it in good humor tell you what nice of him to throw
07:34it was uh this is under the bus though she picked it right and if and as you guys know like once
07:40you're in trouble with the rider's wife or girlfriend it's over there yeah scorched earth yeah
07:45yeah heads eye wind tells you lose right right the clap continues to lead the way there is the 27 of
07:51hugo manzato he is in fifth place jack cannon behind him in six on the number three but racing
07:56kawasaki lamar pietra bonifacio and osterman they ran out the top ten as uh cannon down the back
08:02straight looking to pick up manzato these two have been added uh all weekend long it's been right
08:07around the same pace for a lot obviously we saw hugo running up front i think one of the mains
08:11yesterday but for the most part it's been these two guys with fifth and fourth fifth and sixth whatever
08:16it is all weekend long they're probably sick of each other probably and he's also got a long flight
08:22home uh tomorrow back to australia as well so some 24 hours or so but enjoying your time here in paris
08:28no doubt but uh two minutes plus a lap to go in this final sx2 race of the weekend final one of the
08:34day right here in the uh paris la defance arena through the whoops and you can see cannon not
08:39efficient through there manzato getting ready to tee him up there was about uh just enough room there for
08:47uh jack cannon just to sort of pull his leg in to avoid being hit there maybe in that left-hand
08:52turn at the end of the whoops board on sitting pretty at the moment though he's been absolutely
08:59sort of uh inch perfect pretty much in terms of his consistency he's been able to
09:05battle where maybe last year tom vial maybe had the edge on him going into the final race
09:10that's denied him they finished tied on points last year remember tom vial and board on so to come into
09:15this one with a little bit of breathing room to be ahead of your closest rivals
09:18um you know it's going to be almost like a victory kind of couple of laps now for the frenchman on the
09:25honda yeah i got to feel really good right being french and winning this thing uh in front of your
09:29hometown fans just like barbara muscan has tom vial like you mentioned yeah it's got to be just an
09:35amazing feeling to do that like jt winning like a local ocala florida race back in the day yeah exactly
09:42just like that prince of paris how many of those did you win local races in ocala florida i prince i
09:48would be prince of paris hundreds of times there you go well this was uh poured on just cutting back
09:53to the inside of calvin from v8 to get himself into second position that was at the end of the
09:57whoops down this back down the start straight and that's the thing you know when you get those bowl
10:01turns it opens up so many different scenarios you can go too wide and obviously you leave yourself open
10:06the further inside you go to go defensive the further to the outside and you get that cut back like that
10:11textbook from anthony border yeah a really nice pass right there right exactly how you draw it up and
10:16exactly how you want to make it happen and he's not going down the next straightaway so good job for
10:20bordon i don't think anything's going to happen here but he's closed down the lead on cloud i was
10:23just about to say yeah clout is right there and uh obviously brought on what was his lap time last
10:29time and what was clout's lap time last time around 47.8 so fourth second maybe so uh clout again you know
10:37we talk about when you have that moment that pretty much seals the deal in terms of you're not going
10:42to win white flag goes out one more lap to go maybe just detuning him a little bit coming into this
10:46last race because he's gone from potentially winning to then having no chance at all unless something
10:51happened to bordon behind him and others in between bunching bunching yeah diggs diggs move here
10:58potentially yeah oh boy you never know you never know i think it's oh he's come up short there though
11:07well if he is punching he's not making it look that obvious no no exactly we've seen better
11:13bunching than uh than luke clout here but now it looks like he's going to take the win and so that'll
11:17be you know uh four wins out of six for him and a second and then of course the disaster last race
11:24so two corners to go one now just the other side of this triple luke clout is going to win the final
11:29race but it's going to be anthony bordon who is going to be crowned the prince of paris for the first time
11:35and joins a long and an illustrious group of french riders who have taken the title as prince of paris
11:43of course you look back to the the first sort of uh french winner michael pichon back in 1993 that
11:50it was bercy 11 and then you've got david villaman got a couple as well on yamahas in uh 96 and 97
11:57rodrig tan i saw him today this morning and uh he was also a winner and then we had a period where
12:04there was only one two fives uh and not big bikes and then big bikes only but just selfron who is the
12:10team owner for honda sr motor blues he was victorious as a prince in 2012 so there's a nice little
12:16connection there as well uh dan huzay of course has won maxime dupre has been a two-time winner florin
12:21richie yanni asuti uh thomas doe and tom vial last year and now anthony bordon added his name to that
12:29list but uh you got a feel for luke clout as well because he was on course for uh taking that title
12:36but for that first turn incident um skipped over nick way and i just nick way told me he won one time
12:42he's not french i know but i i was thinking wait nick way didn't win because he's told me he was prince
12:47it's one of his things it was it was a french reference yeah yeah yeah lots of other guys
12:52want paying a bunch of guys so that's how uh the race finishes luke clout your winner bordon second
12:59and your prince of paris calvin from v8 third sarge filamani jake cannon hugo manzato joel pietra
13:05and the rest of the riders of course we'll get two podiums one for the uh prince of paris one for
13:09the overall tonight in sx2 uh for their uh french championship but uh yeah fantastic day fantastic weekend
13:16for the honda motor blues sr motor rider anthony bordon finally gets the job done he tied on
13:21points last year with tom vial so uh yeah i mean smiles all around you come that close and you
13:27realize anything you know what will i ever get that opportunity again he got it he took it with
13:31both hands and he'll walk away here that's the newly crowned prince yeah we're great added a nice
13:35weekend i mean obviously benefited from that thing from cloud like we've talked about but hey listen
